Once She Had A Secret Love: Legacy, Real Gone Celebrate Doris Day’s 90th Birthday With Classics and Never-Before-Heard Music

UPDATE 3/18: Whether on record, the silver screen or television, the name of Doris Day has always been synonymous with grace, class, charm, tenacity and artistry.  The singer, actress and animal rights activist will celebrate her landmark 90th birthday on April 3 of this year, but two days earlier, Real Gone Music will mark the occasion with two brand-new releases filled with both classics and rarities.  Music, Movies & Memories celebrates the entirety of Day’s career as one of America’s preeminent song stylists, covering the period between the 1940s and the 1980s with hidden gems and previously unissued performances.  It’s joined by the first-ever stand-alone CD reissue of the 1966 compilation album Doris Day Sings Her Great Movie Hits, which has been expanded with bonus tracks and now features music from every one of the films in which Day sang between 1956 and 1967.

Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings don’t wish to be left out of the festivities for Doris’ landmark birthday!  On March 25, the label will commemorate the occasion with the release of The Essential Doris Day, a 2-CD, 36-track remastered anthology of many of Day’s greatest hits for Columbia.

Born Doris Mary Anne Kappelhoff in Cincinnati, Ohio, Day rose to prominence as a big-band singer, captivating World War II audiences with the Les Brown Orchestra.  Even today her chart-topping 1945 recording with Brown of the bandleader’s “Sentimental Journey” is instantly transporting to that era.  Day was a natural to be snapped up by Hollywood, and so in 1948, after a grueling schedule of touring, recording and performing on radio, she made her feature film debut in Romance on the High Seas opposite Jack Carson.  The film’s “It’s Magic,” written by Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne, gave Day another No. 1, this time as a solo artist.  Day’s versatility soon became evident, and she was cast in musicals, comedies, dramas and thrillers, investing each role with her down-to-earth appeal.  Doris worked with a “Who’s Who” of Hollywood, including Alfred Hitchcock, Frank Sinatra, James Cagney, James Stewart, Howard Keel, Gordon MacRae, Clark Gable, David Niven, Gene Kelly, James Garner, Jack Lemmon, future President Ronald Reagan, and of course, Rock Hudson.  Real Gone’s Music, Movies & Memories promises to excite listeners with its first-time presentation of tracks that have never appeared on an album or compact disc as well as several newly-unearthed songs.

Music, Movies & Memories features album debuts of pre-recorded soundtrack recordings from the movies Lullaby of Broadway, Starlift, The Glass Bottom Boat and Young at Heart, the latter of which debuts on Blu-ray on April 8.  Day’s immortal “Que Sera Sera” from Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much is represented in a live performance.  Among the previously unreleased offerings here are a 1947 take of Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II’s Show Boat standard “Can’t Help Lovin’ That Man,” a vintage fifties ballad entitled “How Well I Know,” and five songs from Doris’ final recording session in 1985: renditions of “Best Friends,” “Everyone’s Gone to the Moon,” “Wildfire,” “Stewball” and even The Beatles’ “Octopus’ Garden.”  These tracks, newly remixed, were recorded for the 1985-1986 Doris Day’s Best Friends television show devoted to animals; a number of other songs from the program premiered on 2011’s My Heart (which in its U.S. issue gave Doris her first entry on the Billboard 200 in 47 years!).  This version of “Stewball” differs from the one heard on My Heart, as it’s a duet between Day and her late producer-writer-performer son Terry Melcher, well-known for his work with The Byrds and The Beach Boys, among others.  A promotional radio interview from the 1960s has also been sourced from Doris’ own archives for this collection and a montage of studio chatter with Doris from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s closes out the set.

After the jump: a look at Doris’ Great Movie Hits and The Essential Doris Day, plus pre-order links and complete track listings for all three titles!

Action, Action, Action! Real Gone’s April Release Schedule Announced

Second Disc HQ may be surrounded by layers of detestable snow, but a new release schedule from Real Gone Music is as good as any sunshine! (Plus, these titles are due in April, by which everything will have melted…WE HOPE.)

You’ve already read about two of the label’s new April releases courtesy of Joe’s post about Doris Day earlier today, but that’s not all they’re offering. A complete singles collection by Patti LaBelle and The Bluebells – featuring the three future members of LaBelle with future Supremes member Cindy Birdsong – is forthcoming, as are chronicles of The Ohio Express on Cameo Records, Vicki Lawrence (“The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia”) on Bell, and a tempting reissue of Eddie Kendricks’ 1981 final solo LP, his only for Atlantic Records.

But we have to confess we’re a little excited about In Action: The Complete Columbia Sides and More, a new collection devoted to Keith Allison, an underrated rock legend who sat in with The Monkees on some of their best albums, and whose Columbia works were produced by Gary Usher, featuring songs written by Boyce & Hart (the iconic theme to TV series Where the Action Is), Neil Diamond and Mark Lindsay, who’d later recruit him into Paul Revere & The Raiders. In addition to being an airtight, rarity-packed set, we once again can reveal a Real Gone Music release has liner notes penned by our own Joe Marchese, featuring excerpts from a new interview with Keith himself!

So what are you waiting for? Full specs on all titles, including Jacksonville band Cowboy (a favorite of Duane Allman’s) and another Grateful Dead Dick’s Picks title, are after the jump, and all of them are released on April 1 (no foolin’!).

Songwriters Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil Are “Born to Be Together” on New Ace CD

Born to Be Together: could a more apropos title have been devised for a collection of the songs of Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil?  Married since 1961, the team both defines and defies the phrase “unsung heroes.”  Without hit records as recording artists, Mann and Weil have never had the name recognition of their Brill Building-era compatriots like Carole King or Neil Sedaka, but these Grammy Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Famers are hardly unsung.  If all they’d ever written was the most played song of the twentieth century, The Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,” they would have gone down in the history books.  With over 1,000 songs reportedly under their collective belt and some 100 hits (not a bad track record, eh?) charted, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil are simply international treasures.  Ace Records has recognized this with Born to Be Together, the label’s second volume of songs from their storied catalogue following 2009’s Glitter and Gold.

A 2004 theatrical revue starring the couple, They Wrote That?, made reference to one of the most frequent exclamations regarding their body of work.  You might find yourself saying that yourself glancing the track listing of this 25-song compendium: “You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin’,”  “Saturday Night at the Movies,” “We’ve Gotta Get Out of This Place,” “Make Your Own Kind of Music.”  But those hits are just the tip of the iceberg here.

Compilation producer Mick Patrick has expertly woven those familiar tracks (all in their most famous versions) into a tapestry that also takes in lesser-known versions of hit songs and true rarities.  The disc also takes in compositions co-written by Mann and/or Weil with other luminaries, among them Gerry Goffin, Russ Titelman, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, Ernie Freeman, and of course, Phil Spector.  The specter of Spector lingers on both the majestic songs he produced (“Lovin’ Feelin’,” The Crystals’ “Uptown,” The Ronettes’ darkly seductive “Born to Be Together”) and those he co-wrote as recorded by others (Len Barry’s Philly treatment of “You Baby”).

After the jump: much more on Mann and Weil, including a full track listing and order link!

From Doris Day to David Peel: Real Gone Slate Includes Rare Apple Records Album, Mathis at Mercury, Como Christmas and More!

The holiday season must be upon us, for Real Gone Music has announced its Christmas-themed offerings – but that’s not all!  The enterprising label has two offerings with Apple Records ties (one actually from the Apple catalogue!), the complete singles of a soul legend, a counterculture classic, a distinctly non-counterculture classic, and well…just read on about the rest!

First up, four more of Johnny Mathis’ long-unavailable Mercury Records LPs are arriving on CD for the first time!  (Read about the first batch and Mathis’ history with the label here!)  On November 6, Real Gone pairs 1964’s This Is Love, one of the romantic balladeer’s most sublime efforts, with one of his most unusual: 1965’s Olé.   Featuring Latin songs sung in Spanish and Portuguese (including two from the groundbreaking bossa nova film score to Black Orpheus) Olé finds Mathis tackling challenging repertoire, including light classical, aided by Allyn Ferguson’s authentic arrangements. The next two albums arriving from Real Gone are more traditional, yet no less worthwhile.  The Sweetheart Tree (1965) is titled after Henry Mancini’s theme from The Great Race, while The Shadow of Your Smile (1966) takes its cue from the Johnny Mandel/Paul Francis Webster song from The Sandpiper.  The former largely sees Mathis wrapping his velvety vocals around familiar standards, while the latter takes a more contemporary bent with two Beatles tunes, three songs from Alan Jay Lerner and Burton Lane’s Broadway musical On a Clear Day You Can See Forever, “A Taste of Honey” and Antonio Carlos Jobim’s “Corcovado.”  (The Sweetheart Tree was issued in the U.K. with a rejiggered track line-up including some additional songs.  Based on the current track listing supplied to Amazon, it doesn’t appear that the non-U.S. tracks have been included, but we’ll report back should we find otherwise!)

Over at Atlantic Records, Barbara Lewis was making her way up the charts with such sensual, memorable soul ballads as “Hello Stranger” (which she wrote!), “Baby I’m Yours” and “Make Me Your Baby.”   The 2-CD The Complete Atlantic Singles is the first truly exhaustive survey of Lewis’ sixties tenure at Atlantic, and contains tracks penned by Lewis, Chip Taylor, Billy Vera and Van McCoy, as well as productions by Bert Berns, Arif Mardin and Artie Butler.  The set contains the A-sides and B-sides of all 17 singles she issued for the label, many of which are making their debut on CD. Lewis has contributed to Richie Unterberger’s liner notes. It’s due on November 6.

After the jump: a veritable feast of Christmas classics!  Plus: Real Gone takes a bite out of the Apple, and pre-order links for all titles!

Happy Birthday, Doris Day! Screen Legend Celebrated With “Ultimate Collection” and TCM “Smile and a Song”

Doris Day made quite a splash in 2011 when My Heart, her first album of primarily original material in some seventeen years, entered the British album charts with a Top 10 placement.  The singer, actress and animal rights activist turns 88 today, April 3.  Day remains greatly beloved around the world, and our coverage of My Heart quickly became one of The Second Disc’s most-visited articles since our inception in January 2010.  Now, two new releases are looking back on her rich musical legacy.  We have previously reported on With a Smile and a Song, a 2-CD anthology released by Sony Masterworks in conjunction with Turner Classic Movies and Warner Home Video.  It arrives in stores today and coincides with a new 4-DVD box set from Warner Home Video, TCM Greatest Legends: Doris Day, and a 5-night “Star of the Month” retrospective on the cable network.  Across the pond, Sony Music has delivered The Ultimate Collection, a single-disc set bringing the Day catalogue up to the present day with the inclusion of two tracks from My Heart.

With a Smile and a Song has been curated by the great lady herself, with two 15-track CDs.  Though many of Day’s all-time favorites are present, this isn’t a typical “greatest hits” set.  Songs like “Everybody Loves a Lover” and “Move Over, Darling” among the absent titles.  The first disc is dedicated to “The Leading Lady of Movies,” featuring songs performed by Day on the silver screen from motion pictures like Love Me or Leave Me, Billy Rose’s Jumbo and of course, The Man Who Knew Too Much, in which Day introduced Jay Livingston and Ray Evans’ “Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera).”  Calamity Jane’s classic “Secret Love” is here, as is the title song to Pillow Talk and Romance on the High Seas’ memorable “It’s Magic.”

The second disc of With a Smile and a Song, “The Leading Lady of Song,” is no less impressive, offering tracks from the late 1940s right up through the mid-1960s.  Two tracks are offered from Day’s sublime 1962 pairing with Andre Previn, Duet, while another two songs from Latin for Lovers see the singer addressing the bossa nova phenomenon.  Some of America’s greatest composers are represented on this disc, including Jerome Kern, Cole Porter and George Gershwin, and the collection’s namesake is also heard here.  “With a Smile and a Song,” from Walt Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, also titled Day’s 1965 Columbia album for children of all ages.

Hit the jump for details on The Ultimate Collection, plus track listing and discography for both releases, as well as news of the Warner Home Video box set and more!
